The Molecular and Cellular Biology major provides students with a solid preparation in molecular biology, molecular genetics, microbiology, cellular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and structural biology. Students will also acquire a strong background in chemistry, math and physical sciences. After completion of the core curriculum in MCB, students may complete the required advanced course work by taking a variety of MCB courses or by selecting a more focused group of courses in any of the following areas: biochemistry, cells and tissues, developmental biology, infection and immunity, microbiology, genetics, neurobiology and physiology. The MCB Advising Program (MAP) staff is available to help students plan their combination of advanced courses.

The Molecular and Cellular Biology Honors Concentration is designed for students whose preparation and interests motivate them to desire a more intensive undergraduate biology experience and to prepare for graduate or professional school. The MCB Honors Concentration is based on the MCB major. Students must satisfy all of the requirements for the MCB major in addition to the requirements for the MCB Honors Concentration. Students interested in the MCB Honors Concentration should contact the MCB Honors Concentration coordinator during the freshman year for more information.

The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology also sponsors the Minor in MCB and the Biochemistry Specialized Curriculum.

Bilateral Chat (BLC)

Since its launch in 2015, industry-wide adoption of our BLC has grown exponentially year on year.

However, at the start, many customers had misgivings — it seemed almost too good to be true and many were concerned there were hidden costs or exposures.

We enlisted the support of our team of
messenger compliance specialists
to educate customer risk and compliance teams on the benefits of the feature, and, as awareness grew, so too did its advocacy and adoption as a compliant method to conduct inter-firm communications.

What convinced them? It boiled down to two main reasons.

Firstly, the benefits for their front office users, who through BLC were now empowered to create on-demand, persistent, compliant forums with external counterparties without having to follow lengthy approval processes that introduce delays and attract additional expense.
